which do you prefer.......slide or oscillating

sorry.......I missed a option 1st time .I'm new at this.

I said slide but my wallet says oscillating which is why I have many oscillating engines but only three slide valve engines.
Les Marsh

I like both but only have one slide valve.
James

Depends for me, it could be a Wilesco D10 vs Mamod SE4  
pauly

love em both
MooseMan

That's like having to choose between a Jensen #5 or a #25.....can't do it.
Nick

Jensen slide.
igy569

I love 'em all!  Each type is cool in its own right.  For example, the small flieshmann can run at the slowest speed I have ever seen in an oscillating engine.  Had it going on just over 1psi!
Whats not to love?

I would have said jam, or marmalade.    

Can`t do it.

... I prefer jam on my oscillators, and marmalade on my slides. Side order of bacon and sacrambled eggs.
Hey, now you guys got me all confused ...

I voted slide, as I like to see everything work rather than dissapear into a blur.

By the way, oscillators and 'slides' are both piston valves, the only difference being one is fixed. Seeing as slide valves are something altogether different.

Jam wins everytime V Marmalade!

Down south we use a close fitting lid on the jar to preserve it

Homemade blackcurrant jam made from berries you picked yourself on a hot summers day...tastes fantastic and worth all the cuts from the blackcurrant briers too!
James

Nivver ad them theeyre lids wen ahh wer a bor!

away guys  
Minor1PJG

Marmalade every time as made by........ME

Oscillating if we are still talking steam

My Minor 1 was my first love.......
Wallace

That is a real hard one Clinton

I guess I don't have a fave. If I had to choose it would be oscilating, cos it fits in with the engines I collect
Nick

Will this change the minds of any of you oscillator fans:

Nick

Or how about this:

Can you tell which ones I prefer?

Minor1PJG

Now don't be trying to change my mind
